Here are pictures from a couple of the failures at the tcase side. No vibration, noises or signs when it lets loose. One pic is of a bolt the dealership snapped off during replacement #2.

That would be awesome! PM me.I still have my bad one my dealer refused to warranty. The second dealer offered to sell me a new one at cost, so I bought it and have it sitting in the box atm. I could send ya the old one after I change it? If your guys come up w/something tell them I want one too, and have them ship it to me? Was waiting till spring to change it, or till it started making noise
This is very accurate.Some updated shaft angles. For near SAS geometry. 2 door in yellow and 4 door in red. Assumes 2 door shaft is 35” long (don’t have one to measure just scaled wheelbase). Dashed lines for increased angles from a 2” spacer lift or effective shock length increase. Redrilling lower mount up 2” does same lift. Springs and preload will just move equilibrium ride height angle. 0 point for pinion motion.
the 4 door caps out at full droop from 12-14 degrees. 2 door at 17-20 degrees. Plus or minus 1 degree or so. 17 degrees on unmodified SAS 2 door doesn’t seem that high. It’s hard to get the 4 door angles excessive.
The spicer CV boot is the EXCACT same as OEM.Might need a different joint for the 2Ds. Seems to be the boot starts to struggle much after 15+ degrees. Especially if you are pushing it hard, lots of articulation and motion near full rebound/extension.
disappointing by ford. Not hard to test and evaluate at expected angle limits. Everything from ford design seems to be right at the bleeding limits. Seems like the 2Ds may have been a bit of an afterthought. Wondering if spicer boots have been tested any better. Especially for lifted 2Ds.
